Orient Away

Recommended Posts

it does make you wonder how many we could have taken if it was completely open sale with a huge away end, i reckon 7-8000 potentially

i'm still not sure about the plan of having a family area (which still ISN'T SOLD OUT) they should just sell those tickets to away fans who want to go.

Just a pointer for those travelling via Waterloo next week... if you're planning on going direct from there to Leytonstone, the Northern Line section of Tottenham Court Road station is closed, so there's no interchange to the Central Line.

 

Instead, the quickest route will be the Jubilee Line from Waterloo to Stratford, changing to the Central Line there.

Another good alternative (especially those wanting to drink around Liverpool st) is to jump on the Waterloo & City line to Bank which is one stop from Waterloo, then join the central line there to Liverpool st (one stop) or stay on it to Leyton

London Bridge is a superb place for a beer but we drank around Liverpool Street last year. Have to say London Bridge did get the call up after the game though.

 

London bridge is probably the top spot for a beer in London, bit too much of a trek over to Leyton for my liking for it to work for a pre-match drink for this one. Liverpool Street, Bethnal Green and even Stratford have a fair few options dotted around.

and with Leeds at Millwall that day I think it's worth giving it a swerve.

Can anyone remember how busy the Birbeck Tavern got close to kick off, 2pm-ish last season?

It wasn't especially busy nor especially quiet, about right. The weather was fine so it was possible to spill out into the garden. It's a good option and it's where we're going once we get to Leyton.

Their fans are predicting less than 4k for their home match with Plymouth midweek. If they lose it may mean a similar 'home' turnout Saturday which would leave a couple of thousand empty seats...roll up, roll up...

Just over 3k at Orient last night...2806 home fans...although they did win. Looks like there could still be a good chance of getting in if you turn up Saturday.

So if the same number of home fans turn up on Saturday then we really will have more fans than them
